BitLocker On TPM ver 2.0

Hey all.

I hope that i'm asking this at the right area of this Forum.

I have a DELL Latitude 5480 with Win10 pro on it.

After enabling BitLocker, BitLocker asking for a recovery key on every reboot.

I've found that BitLocker cannot work properly with TPM ver 2.0, (Dell Latitude 5480 comes with TPM version 2.0).

After downgrading TPM, from ver 2.0 to ver 1.2, BitLocker works smoothly.

Any solution for BitLocker on TPM ver2.0?

Thank in advance.

 

Both Device Encryption and Bitlocker on?? How to turn both off??

-- All here - thanks for your very fast responses to my post at top. I have done something a bit different, as suggested over at AskWoody, with very good results. (At Topic: Why is Bitlocker waiting for Activation? @ AskWoody.) First, I made a Macrium Reflect differential backup of one of the PCs -- the Precision 3660. Then, I went to Settings - Update & Security - Device Encryption at bottom left, and hit “Turn Off” in the right panel for the encryption. (<-- Corrected to Device Encryption in edit.) The machine took a bit of time to decrypt. and I rebooted. I now have very good results:

1. Update & Security no longer has Device Encryption (<-- corrected) on the left.
2. Control Panel – Bitlocker indicates that Bitlocker is OFF. It no longer says it is waiting for activation.
3. Our staffer’s files — in her User account on the PC — appear to be perfectly OK. As it turns out, they had been moved to OneDrive so I’m not 100% sure that all files actually on the PC are OK, but I don’t see any issues.
4. I have rebooted a few times and looked at Event Viewer, and so far everything seems OK.
5. Also, Paul Black's suggested "manage-bde -status" shows that Bitlocker is indeed off.

These good results make me think that Update & Security – Device Encryption (<-- corrected) is indeed the same as Bitlocker, or very highly linked. I think that maybe the WindowsClub article I cited above is wrong or incomplete. Any further thoughts? EDIT - Over at AskWoody, a commentator noted that my Update & Security - Device Encryption disappeared, and he was surprised. Should it NOT have disappeared? Have I lost something here?

Nah - just an AskWoody commenter who knows diddly squat.
